PRANCER

Here are the 6th and final colors. It is a leafy sea dragon I have named Prancer. Overall I loved the process. I used gomuban from McClain's instead of linoleum. It is much easier to cut and does hold a fine line. It only comes in one size so working larger than 11.75 x 15.75 wouldn't work. But it is still a nice size for most of my typical prints. I am already contemplating my next print...

Wendy,Jeff sent me pics of Prancer. Nice work. A year ago I was contemplating doing a sea dragon in glass. When looking at ocean bottom pics to get a feel for the elements surrounding the seahorse which would further imply motion, I came across a pic of a blue ring octopus an did that instead of the seahorse. You seem to have capture that "fluidity" of implied motion that I was looking for in your design and the interaction of the colors. Sweet job.Steve Meyer
